  One day, he was walking near the river with his friends when he slipped and fell in. His friends ran to help him, and one of them held out his hand and said,"Give me your hand, and I will pull you out." The rich man's head went under the water and then came up again, but he didn't give his hand. Again another of his friends tried, but again the same thing happened.

  Then Peter said,"Take my hand and I will pull you out!" The rich man took his hand, and Peter pulled him out of the water.

  Passage 2

  阅读理解二

  People all over the world don't like mice, but they like one mouse-the famous Mickey Mouse. More than fifty years ago, most films were silent. A man called Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse. The mouse could talk in his films. He called his mouse Mickey Mouse. People were excited at Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse became very successful and popular.

  Both young people and old people enjoyed Mickey Mouse. They loved to see their lovely friend because he brought joy and laughter to them. Mickey was a clean mouse from the beginning. So people hate real mice, but love Mickey Mouse. In his early life, Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry, and they wrote to Disney. They said they did not want Mickey to do silly things. Because Mickey could not do all of the things, Disney made a new animal called Donald Duck. He also made a dog Pluto. This dog always does stupid things and makes mistakes.

  Now Mickey is more important. He is a star of beauty and wisdom. He has friends in almost every country.

You can't see the sun for more than two months, even at noon. The summer days are long for more than two months, the sun never goes down and there is no night.

  The Eskimos have warm clothes. They make them from the skins of animals.
